The find function only finds files within currently open files. If I have a folder of .py scripts and need to look up a specific keyword or string among all these files within the project folder, is there any method that you'd recommend?
I would do that in my editor, probably. But Python can get a list of files in a directory with os.listdir(). Loop over the files, use os.path.join() to make a full path, open the file, read the data, look for the string in the data.
